hi after reading your comment, i couldnt believe how similar your story sounds 2 mine. i met my turkish boyfriend whilst on holiday and thought nothing of it but a holiday romance. however once i was back home i realised i missed him so much and needed 2 go back 2 make sure my feelings were more than just holiday blues.

I spoke 2 my boyfriend every nite on the computer and we texted everyday then plucked the courage up 2 ask him if i could come back and see him , straight away he said yes much 2 my delight. but then the nerves set in ,the fact i was going back on my own was daunting enough but what if it wasnt as good as before also ran through my mind.

i had nothing to worry about he was the most caring gentle man i have ever met ,always making sure i was ok, ive been introduced 2 all his friends quite a few of them are english which makes it easier,and i get on really well with his brother.my boyfriend has a holiday complex so i know money isnt the reason he wants me plus he doesnt want 2 come 2 england so its not a visa he wants either.

i think ive finally found someone i want 2 spend my life with so if your head is telling you 2 go 4 it then do it, but just make sure you find out how he is day 2 day spend a couple of weeks at a time with him see how he reacts when you meet people he knows,spending 24hours a day with someone helps you realise who they are and whether or not they are the one 4 you.
